Testimonials

WHY HIRE THE WATERSIDE THEATRE – DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT!................

I have had the privilege of using the venue at Waterside Theatre this past two years for my cookery demonstrations to raise funds for Foyle Hospice. I found the staff very helpful, willing to accommodate and give advice at any time. The theatre itself has a fantastic layout and serviced my needs perfectly. I would highly recommend this venue and will certainly go back to them in the future for further events.

Bill Duncan, Head Chef, Foyle Hospice

It was so great for us to have the opportunity to open the show in a venue and to test it out on a different audience. The staff was so helpful with contacting schools and to answer our many questions and always responded promptly which was such a great help. The technician was also great and so helpful during a fairly stressful tech. We hope that this won’t be our last visit to the Waterside Theatre and we hope to see you all again in the future.

Over the past five years the Movers and Shakers have had the privilege and pleasure of holding the title of ‘Resident Drama Group’ in the Waterside Theatre. This arrangement has brought about many benefits for the group not least of which is the access to the varied facilities the theatre provides.

When it comes to lights and sound we were in the capable hands of the theatre’s technician, and the theatre management team have always gone the extra mile in supporting us from the marketing of our plays to always ensuring we attract a variety of audiences from the city and beyond. If the true art of theatre is to be realised in this City then one has to look no further than the Waterside Theatre and its management team!

Tullintrain Pipe Band have used the excellent facilities provided at the Waterside Theatre for many years and have been particularly impressed by the professionalism and helpfulness of all the staff. As amateur musicians we have often relied on the help and advice of the technicians and back of house staff to give our performances that something extra which adds to the sense of occasion whatever it may be. On behalf of Tullintrain Pipe Band I thoroughly recommend the Waterside Theatre as a special venue for all sorts of events many of which we have been privileged to be part of.
